Hundreds of people in Harrisburg had one strong message: find justice for 17-year-old Trayvon Martin.

The march on Friday was part of a call for action nationwide. Protesters called out George Zimmerman, the man who fatally shot Martin. Zimmerman has not been charged in Florida. He claims self-defense in the shooting.

The marchers closed a two-mile stretch of Market Street. They hope their voices are heard hundreds of miles away.

In a sea of hoodies, like Martin was wearing when he was shot, the voices shared a singular idea.

"If it can happen there, and nothing's done, it can happen anywhere," said Stanley Lawson, who participated in the march.

"It spoke to me because it could have been my little brother," said Precious Young.

Michele Hariston and Jubair Yother organized the event by using Facebook.

"If we don't come together, there's no resolution to the story or to the problem," Hariston said.

"We shouldn't stand for it, we shouldn't allow it just to go on unchecked," Yother said. "And you know, being in a democracy, we are the people, a government for the people, so, we should be able to stand up for change ourselves, too."

Organizers said they started putting the event together Sunday. Just five days later, there were 500 people marching on Market Street. Hariston and Yother said they hope their message about injustice isn't heard only in Florida, but also in Harrisburg.

"We need to make sure that we don't have the same problem here that they have in Sanford, Fla.," said Harrisburg Councilwoman Sandra Reid. "We cannot profile our children."

Marchers said they hope all the noise the event makes can drown out the hate and bring their community together.

"We have a mixture. Justice crosses all religious lines. All racial lines. And it's something that we're going to have to address if this country is to move forward," said Victor Muhammad.

Protesters took a symbolic route, ending at the Dauphin County Courthouse, where their final rallying cry was aimed at Martin's killer. It was aimed at the hurt felt all the way in Harrisburg.

Organizers also said they are putting together another protest against education cuts on April 4.
